Atacama Lodge, 5 miles south of town, is probably the best place in the southern hemisphere for an Astronomy road trip. We had 8 nights clear out of 8 nights. Many fascinating things to see in the daytime, too, like Valley of the Moon, ancient setllements, Chaxa Salar (salt flat), Geysers, high-altitude Lagunas, etc.

Jon iz teh kewl:stupid retards, should have used that liquid you buy at Head Shops and drink. cleans you out in under 24 hours

No it doesn't, it just forces your body to excrete more water (which is why they tell you to drink water with it, because if you don't you can be going to a hospital for severe dehydration.) which dilutes the results. You aren't clean, not by a long shot. You still have LARGE reserves in your fat cells just waiting to be released during your normal biological processes.

/daily smoker, with medical license//also on probation, but they can't fail me since I'm registered with the state department of health

no it calls the gods to freeze time, and let you age 30 days while the rest of the population stays normal

Having only done DMT once I can't imagine how long term usage would change your perception - I imagine it would be significant.

According to wikipedia, the seeds of Anadenanthera Colubrin var. Cebil contain ~12% Bufotenin, .06% 5-MeO-DMT and .06% DMT. Notice the article writer said the mummies had traces of dimethyltryptamines, not n,n-dimethytryptamine specifically. Given the breakdown of alkaloids in the seeds, bufotenine was probably the dimethyltryptamine that was detected.

There is some debate as to whether Befotenin actually produces psychedelic effects. Even though 5-MeO-DMT only makes up .06% of the alkaloids in Cebil, it is far more potent than DMT or Bufotenin (it fully active with only several milligrams), so it may actually be the psychoactive agent in these seeds.

So you don't dream, then? Because DMT is what gets released from your brain when you hit REM and start dreaming.

While it is true that DMT is an endogenous chemical, I doubt DMT plays a role in dreaming. I have not seen any compelling evidence to back up anecdotal assertions that DMT release plays a role in dreaming or near death experiences. The validity of the studies performed in the 60s has come into question in recent times. Check out the Biosynthesis section of the wiki article on DMT for more info. To summerize, the test used to detect the DMT from tissue samples that was used was overly selective for DMT relative to other tryptamines. While more recent studies confirm that DMT does get produced endogenously, the concentrations are insignificant.
